About the year 1727, Richard Townsend made a “testimony” which gives some insight into his life since arriving in America.[2] He also mentions that he set up the first grist mill in Philadelphia Co. along Chester Creek. However, Ashmead states in his History of Delaware County, Pennsylvania that Richard was a partner in the venture, but that Caleb Pusey was appointed the agent and manager of the joint concern.[3]
